Supreme Court Urges CBSE to Reconsider Three-Language Policy Implementation
The Supreme Court has urged the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to reconsider aspects of the three-language policy under the National Education Policy 2020, including the starting grade for the third language and the classification of English as a non-native language. The court suggested a one-time reprieve for current Class 6 students to ease transition challenges and emphasized the need for adequate teachers, learning materials, and infrastructure before full implementation. NCERT has released third-language resources to support the policy, which mandates studying three languages with at least two being Indian languages.
